Alfie celebrated his 30th birthday in 2011 and ALL ABOUT ALFIE is the perfect gift for the occasion!

Alfie and his best friend Bernard have a day out full of surprises when they go to meet a very great person indeed. What’s more there are secret dens to explore, snowy skies, birthday fun and a very unexpected visitor on a special night-time trip!

Join our little hero and his friends and family in a celebration of all things Alfie…

Alfie is delighted to be invited to Bernard’s birthday party, although he feels a bit nervous about going on his own. But Alfie has such a great time, he finds he doesn’t even need his special blanket – and he makes a new friend too!

Join Alfie as he overcomes his shyness and becomes the most helpful guest at the party.

Alfie has won the race to be first home but – oh no! – he’s slammed the front door and Mum and Annie Rose are on the other side! Even with lots of friends and neighbours to help, they just can’t get in . . . Join Alfie in his very first adventure to see if he can solve the problem all by himself.

Splish, splash, splosh! Alfie's new yellow boots are perfect for walking through puddles and stamping in mud. There's something not quite right about them, though – they're making his feet turn outwards . . . Join Alfie as he works out what's wrong with his boots in this wonderfully splashy adventure.

All is quiet at Alfie's house – Mum and Dad have gone out and Maureen's baby-sitting. Then . . . drip, drip, drip. It's raining inside! The drip turns into a downpour and Maureen's parents have to come round to deal with the burst pipe, but only Alfie can work out what's worrying Annie Rose . . . Join Alfie as he sorts out a problem in a very wet adventure.

Birthday parties always make people happy and Alfie's neighbour, Mr MacNally, really does need cheering up because his beloved cat, Smoky, has died. Alfie thinks a party might just help, and there's an extra special surprise in store for Bob MacNally . . . Join Alfie as he tries to keep a secret in this celebration of pets old and new.

Alfie's painting "Motorbike Man" has been entered in the children's painting competition at the Harvest Fair. His friends have done paintings too, but when the winners are announced, not everyone is happy with their prize . . . Join Alfie on an exciting day at the fair as he comes up with a brilliant solution!

Alfie and his friend Bernard like Nursery School, but sometimes they wish they could play with Ian Barger and the other boys at the Big School next door. But the big boys are far too busy to take any notice of the little kids, until the day of the plant sale . . . Join Alfie as he discovers that even big boys need help!
